Hope everyone had happy holidays. I wanted to get SV2 out this year but sadly I've been too busy with other stuff to manage it, hopefully next January.
Anyway, I wrote a big post yapping about my favorite mysteries this year, check it out if you want:

The epub is currently not available, I'll try to get that up as soon as I can. I've been working on the release for 14 hours straight, though, so excuse me while I die for a bit.

My new mystery short story, "Samsara, or the War Pigs' Feast", is out. It's about a seemingly impossible attack on a warring nation, and an enigmatic death row prisoner that appears to know its secrets. Check it out!

ushiromiya battler is the guy at the party being like "tarot cards are so stupid" and then when he gets a reading that's essentially "you feel sad sometimes" he goes fuuuuuck maybe it's real fuuuuuck

I just realized it's been a whole year since I put out Chocolate Insomnia. It is the first thing I ever properly released, so I can't help but look back fondly on it. You can now find the download on my website: genmajou.com/works/chocol...

Shizuka Joestar (16) and Achtung Baby

Bit late for where I am but happy new year. Been a good one, all in all. Here's hoping I get to both read and write a lot more stories this year.

Apocalypse Now There’s a big part of me that wants to call Yutaka Maya’s A Sonata for Summer and Winter (alternative title: Parzival) one of the greatest mystery novels I’ve ever read. But, while it’s good and certa...

NEW BLOG POST: In which we talk about 'A Sonata for Summer and Winter', a dreamy closed circle mystery that leaves you with more questions than answers. But is also kind of great for doing it?

I've been reading The Man in Pirate's Island (海賊島事件) by Kadono Kouhei and enjoying it a lot, so here's a sloppy sketch of my favorite evil supermodel detectives Miral Kiral from the previous volume.

Now all that's left to do is make it readable on the website, and then get a print set-up ready for myself and anyone else who might wish to print a copy for themselves. If that's you, look forward to it.

Vallachia Update: the EPUB is now available for download on the site. I've also upgraded the PDF (so now it properly embeds the fonts). Apologies for the delay, the calibre default EPUB conversion leaves much to be desired when it comes to books with many pictures.
